Your Guide to the Guest Friendly Hotels in Ao Nang

The guest friendly hotels stated below are all located in Ao Nang and within walking distance of the beach, bars and nightlife hot spots of the town. These establishments are also very popular with like minded visitors and I have personally taken the time to contact each and every single one of them as of March 2019 to make sure their guest friendly policy is still in effect. You can check out the reply they provided with the hotels description. All offer both great value and good service while the rates themselves can greatly vary from budget to 5 star luxury.

So, Where is the action at in Ao Nang?

While the vast majority of the visitors who make their way to Ao Nang are more interested in daytime beach activities and island hopping tours than raucous nightlife this doesn’t mean there’s no bar girl or freelancers on offer. Your best bet for female companionship would be to head to Soi RCA Entertainment, the only place left in Ao Nang with around 20 Pattaya-style girly bars. You will find it ± 500 meters up the main road leading to Krabi town just opposite to the Mc Donald’s.

A hotel that is considered guest or Bargirl friendly / Girl Friendly / Guest Friendly simply means that the establishment will allow and won’t charge any extra to take back an unregistered guest up to your room. A joiner fee can cost anywhere around from 10 to 25$ a night but could be even higher depending on the hotel policy. So if you unknowingly book a non-guest friendly hotel and plan on taking a girl back up to your room everyday for a week then you’re going to be paying a lot more money unnecessarily or worst outright denied entry. This is by no means an indication of their respectability as each hotel has different policies as long as you’re somewhat discreet. I have taken the time to e-mail them all personally to make sure about their policy and have given their reply with the hotel description.

Review

The Ao Nang Phu Pi Maan is a beautiful traditional Thai high end resort tucked away in a quiet green environment with no traffic noise located about 1 Km up from the beach on the main Krabi road. The nightlife and beer bars of Soi RCA & Soi Bamboi are not too far around 10 mins walk away, you'll find plenty of bars and restaurants along the way or alternatively can use their free two way hotel shuttle. The cheapest Deluxe category offer in my humble opinion the best value for money, rooms are modern and really spacious at 45 sq.m with a lovely little balcony but if you feel like splurging the villa are really luxurious and perfect in every way with huge private terrace & bathroom. Resort amenities include a a beautiful pool on two levels surrounded by plants and trees with the huge limestone mountains that characterizes Ao Nang towering in the back which no doubt add to the whole tropical paradise atmosphere. Downside is they do NOT serve any alcohol but they have no issues if grab some from 7/11 and fill up your minibar, no issues with bargirls either as long as they have proper ID.

Review

Harvest House is a small hotel of Bed & Breakfast type with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great location: Near massage centers, tourist spots, nightlife, local eateries & beach is a 10 minutes walk down the hill. Rooms here are spacious and comfortable with large beds, good air-con, TV (with 50 channels), fridge, safe, hot water & Free high speed Wi-Fi. The only draw backs I can think of is there's no swimming pool and a little noise from passing traffic but that's from the location on the main road.

About the Website

For those of you looking to avoid unpleasant surprises when coming back at the hotel, or being smacked with unexpected "joiner fees" added to the bill upon checkout, I have compiled a lists of hotels which are known to have "guest friendly" policies.

The hotels on these lists are very popular with like minded visitors and are also known to respect the privacy of their guests. But most importantly, none of them levy any extra charges for bringing back unregistered guests.
